As we continue to use our assessment checklists, we are making adjustments and many changes. First off, we assessed most students during our soccer unit. What we assessed was different for each grade, depending on the skills we determined they should be able to successfully execute at each level. We started off by checking off if they could perform the skill appropriately; however this raised some questions for us. First off, what if a parent wants to know specifically what their child can and cannot do? Also, as a teacher, I should know which aspect of the skill the student needs help with. That way I can work on the specific movement and then the skill as a whole. Because of this, we decided we need to break the skills down and create rubrics for each skill. We are going to create rubrics (1-4) with "4" being they can do the skill perfectly and "1" being they can't do the skill at all. Obviously we will be specific for each skill and know exactly what to look for. With the rubrics, we will be able to look back and see which skills the students excelled at and what skills they struggled with. This then will affect our teaching; we will spend more time on the challenging skills while only having to review the skills they are more proficient.
Since this is a lot and is new to all the PE teachers, we are working together to develop the rubrics. Over the year, it is going to be a lot of tweaking this and changing that, until we get our overall assessments to a point that is most effecient for us and most effective for the students.
